That used to happen to me a LOT! It might not be the steps before you throw as much as while you are throwing. What I mean is that you might not be pushing off/lifting your Back/left leg (if you throw with your right hand). You are probably arching your back because you are trying to throw and not push off, and then when you don't X step you do push off. Practice trowing with different amounts of push with your back left leg without X stepping and see what the disc does. I stopped doing an X…

It flattened out my disc completely. Good luck, keep throwing!<br />

I had this same problem, got a sidewinder, and that added about 50 feet to my drives. It is made for players with this problem. But I found another solution. Theres two ways you can fix this. Both fairly simple.<br />
<br />
The first one is kind of hard to get used to aiming, but it works in the long run (I average 450 feet now). stand facing away from the basket. You should be at the back of the tee with your back to the basket. Take a step to the right with your right foot, step back with your left…

The first one is kind of hard to get used to aiming, but it works in the long run (I average 450 feet now). stand facing away from the basket. You should be at the back of the tee with your back to the basket. Take a step to the right with your right foot, step back with your left foot, then one more step back with your right foot. As you take the last step, turn your whole body around and throw the disc level with your chest and angle a bit to the right. Its similar to the famous X step but forces your entire body to but put into the throw. This will create an amazing S curve and will allow you to throw LONG drives. I've reached 520 feet like this.<br />
<br />
The second way is a little harder, but worth it when you get used to it. In this, you will be doing a complete 360. Start anwhere on the tee facing the basket. Take a step with your left foot, Then swing your right foot around far enough to spin your body, then let go keeping the disc level, and angled to the right. This will do the same as the last step, but with a little more power when you get good at it. Ive birdied a 550 foot hole in two shots with this stance.<br />

Learn how to snap a towel really well.<br />
It is easy to do, roll up a towel keep snapping it until you get good at it.<br />
Use cheap towels as it will shred them quickly when you get good.<br />
It annoys people, so do it when nobody is around.<br />
I used to do this in the winter time up in Michigan and every spring I came out throwing farther!<br />
I still like to get a good towel snap or two off just before my round, to remind the wrist and arm that it is time.<br />
Get good enough to rip a fly off a windowsill.<br />

You can practice the sidearm snap with a towel also!<br />
Discs want Spin and Z's.<br />
The more spin you put on the disc, the longer it will stay in the air.<br />
The longer it stays in the air the farther it will go.<br />
When the spin dies on a disc, that is when you will see it start to curve off its line.<br />
You can put more spin on lighter discs because you wrist can snap it quicker.<br />
People with stronger wrists can snap the heavier weights.<br />
Practice in an open field and learn what your discs do. Experiment!<br />
Then apply what you learn in the field to the course.<br />

to fix your form try doing what i used to do. go back to the x step and slow it down a bit and then what i did was make my last step bigger to keep my body forward so the disc doesn't go way up in the air. also try practicing with an innova beast that is what i learned with and it worked out great for me.

It means you could be having a problem with wrist roll. Flutter can rob your disc of power and takes away potential distance. It also causes your disc to less stable than it's meant to, which often causes players to buy faster, more overstable discs than they need because they flip the slower discs when they try to throw hard. A smooth, clean release even at slow speeds can go further than a sloppy full-powered throw any day.

I started playing as soon as i could throw a disc but quit playing for about 9 years, and then picked it up again last year. I played pa davis once before the redesign and once after. I dont play in lafayette ofton but i do show for all the tourny's. By the way there is a tournament comming up at highland park in baton rouge i think the 11th not sure though you can check it out at (southern nationals disc golf )
